Bought these wheels secondhand but never used. Seller says they’re tubeless, but tried mounting Mavic Yksion tires and the bead won’t set at all. Stays in place momentarily with the LBCs air compressor so the tape seems to be doing it’s job. but no clicking noises and as soon as the pressure is gone the tire ettles back into the center channel. The tires were working fine tubeless on Ksyrium wheels up until now. Could they just be incompatible with these rims? Or might the rums not be tubeless? And if not officially tu less, any recommendations of a tubeless road tire that might work with them?
I have an email out to the manufacturer but may e someone here knows, thanks!

Honestly, I would really recommend just lookup up the brand and model. It should say online their tubless capabilties.
This is what pops up as first result for “Alexrims CXD4:
>Designed disc only -for the latest road and cross bikes | Tubeless ready design | Sleeve joint | Offset profile – makes a stronger wheel
Edit: as for tires; that still can be hit or miss. Some combos sit super tight, some unseat easily
